This was an interesting book with a lot of ideas. I think there was just a bit too much packed in to follow completely--characters, story lines, etc. I found the second half of the book much more engaging, and wish the balance was tilted a bit more towards that part of the story. I was pretty disappointed by the ending, which, for a book with so much going on, felt rushed and a bit too tidy. Overall, I think this book sacrifices some needed depth for breadth, but it was good enough to get me through.
